Frequently Asked Questions

What is the air-to-water ratio for?

The balanced air-to-water ratio is meant to support both porosity and water retention. This helps fast-growing, heavy-feeding plants get consistent moisture without the mix staying waterlogged.

How do I plant directly into the bag?

The bag can double as a grow container, so cut the top open and plant directly into it. That skips the extra step of transferring the soil to a separate pot before use.

It's made from coarse peat moss, perlite, composted virgin forest material, coco fiber, pumice, worm castings, bat guano, non-GMO soybean meal, fishbone meal, non-GMO alfalfa meal, leonardite, kelp meal, greensand, and mycorrhizal fungi. Those ingredients supply both structure and organic fertility.

Does it include mycorrhizal fungi?

Yes, mycorrhizal fungi is included in the mix. It's part of the ingredient list from the first use rather than a separate additive step.
